Tango is recruiting. Mikami collaboration with Hideo Kojima and Suda 51 hinted?


Mikami Project

A couple weeks ago I wrote about the teaser site opened about a misterious "Mikami Shinji Project". Today the countdown reached zero.

The new site seems to be a recruitment page for the new Tango studio opened by Mikami. You can also play a small and rather gory flash game in which you can cut Mikami's head (after he performed Harakiri, that seems to be the theme of the page), and try to send it flying as far as possible. But here things become more interesting: the little game shows both Hideo Kojima and Suda 51 hidden around the field. Is this a hint to a collaborative project between the three acclaimed developers?
Mikami himself wrote on his personal twitter page that he's going to work on his new project with his "best friends".
Obviously three giants of the Japanese gaming industry joining forces in a project to take on the world would be something to look forward to. Unfortunately no further info is available at the moment.

During the minigame, by the way, you can read: "not in Japan? No problem!" Probably hinting at the fact that recruitment is also open to western developers.
